The iPLEX-MUST Fellows Program<\/strong>
\nVisitors (graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty) from the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) will, through extended stays at UCLA, interact with our planetary scientists under the UCLA iPLEX (Institute for Planets and Exoplanets) umbrella.\u00a0 Participants will visit in pairs (6 people per year, 2 people per academic quarter) and stay for one quarter each.\u00a0 The program objective is to learn directly about the aims and the conduct of modern planetary science from established UCLA practitioners.\u00a0 Fellows are expected to participate in the life of the department by attending public seminars and colloquia, and it is hope that they will take the opportunity to interact with UCLA planetary scientists in research discussions.\u00a0 iPLEX Fellows will participate in the development of a scientific mini-workshop, to be held on the UCLA campus, with attendance funded through this program.<\/p>\n
